Consultation documents

The Treasury and the Parliamentary Counsel Office are seeking feedback on the Statutes Repeal Bill before it is introduced into Parliament.

The Statutes Repeal Bill will repeal legislation that is unnecessary and spent. Removing "dead wood" from the statute book helps keep New Zealand's laws up to date, making them easier to understand and apply.

We have prepared this "Exposure Draft" of the Bill for public review, so that feedback from interested parties can be used to improve the Bill before introduction.
